National Park & State Quarters

What is the diameter of a quarter? The U.S. Quarter in all its forms since 1828 is 24.26mm or .955 inches in diameter.  The US has minted many types of quarters over the years and all can be protected and stored in various methods shown here.

The 50 State Quarters program released a series of circulating commemorative coins from 1999 through 2008 which featured each of the 50 U.S. states on unique designs for the reverse of the quarter.  The State Quarters program was started to support a new generation of coin collectors, and it became the most successful numismatic program in history, with roughly half of the U.S. population collecting the coins, either in a casual manner or as a serious pursuit.

The National Park Quarters are a series of quarters issued from 2010 until at least 2021. The series may be extended at the option of the Secretary of the Treasury, potentially extending the series to 2033.  The obverse of all the coins will depict George Washington in a restored version of the original portrait used for the 1932 Washington Quarter. There will be five new reverse designs each year (one in 2021) each depicting a national park or national site (one from each state, the federal district, and each territory).
